Do you have problems dispersing powders?
An agitator may be effective for basic tasks such as simple blending and
maintaining in-tank uniformity. But for more difficult applications such as
wetting and dispersing gums and thickeners, agitators often take a long time
to give the results you need or simply are not capable.
A Silverson Flashmix will rapidly wet out powders, improving product
quality and dramatically increasing productivity.
With its low-level ergonomic design, Flashmix users will achieve ultrafast
powder incorporation rates of up to 250 pounds per minute.
Let us take a closer look at the Flashmix in this slow-motion animation.
As liquid moves through the system, the high-speed rotation of the rotor blades
within the work head exerts a powerful suction so that when the powder is
released into the system it is efficiently drawn into the liquid stream.
centrifugal force then drives the materials towards the periphery of the work
head where they are milled in the precision gap between the rotor and the
stator.
This is followed by intense hydraulic shear as materials are forced to
high velocity through perforations in the stator then through the machine outlet
and along the pipework.
Fresh liquids and powder continue to be drawn into the work head maintaining the
mixing and pumping cycle.
Mixed product is returned to the process vessel or can be discharged directly.
With our sixty-plus years of experience in powder liquid mixing, Silverson's new
Flashmix brings together our innovative design philosophy with tried and tested
methods to provide a simple, effective, low-cost solution to some of the most
challenging powder liquid mixing applications.
The Silverson Flashmix is easy to install, easy to maintain and is fully
C.I.P.-able and does not require an additional feed pump.
It will give a consistent agglomerate-free product time after time.
